I find peace in this quote. I continue to love- everyday I love life more than I did yesterday. Up and downs happen more often than not but they no longer define me, I am loving and not stopping. I am loving to live and it is very peaceful and freeing. Continue to forgive- God has tested my patience on this multiple times already. But a set back is nothing but a small pothole in a road, a step back is nothing but a few hairs out of place on our head, a setback is nothing but a blemish on your face- a setback can be fixed, mended, stitched back into place, or disappear. I will always find my inner forgiveness for anything I may encounter. Forgiveness is never for the person who needs it the most, forgiveness is for me, myself, and I. I find it freeing to forgive. And continue to grow- yes growing is changing and evoling daily into a different human and I strive to grow into a better person tomorrow than I was today. Growth has made me a wiser person today. By growing I allow myself to be healed daily, by growing I allow myself to put my pieces back into place and be whole again. By growing I know I will be healed. #love#forgive#grow#lovehard#forgivequickly#growintoyourself#makeyourselfbetter#expressinglove#expressyourself#readyourlife#expresslife#instapost#instalife#instatruth

There are a couple women in my accountability who very openly and rawly shared yesterday that they are struggling. After questioning and prying, it turns out they just haven’t been PERFECT. Our programs come with a meal plan as well as lots of nutrition talk and guidance in the accountability group. Those women might not all have followed the program perfectly but they are making way healthier choices than they used to be just a week ago. 🙌🏼👏🏻💪🏻 They are improving themselves mentally and physically just by showing up in the group daily. It’s so hard to fall into that all or nothing thinking. I’m either 100% perfect on plan or I’m a failure. That’s where my group of women supporting women becomes invaluable. ❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟 Something I have written on the cover of my journal is “what did you do today to make the world around you a better place?” I’m going to add “what did you do today to make yourself a better person?” I typically listen to personal growth podcasts and audiobooks daily, but unless I put what I learn into action, I’m not improving myself. That action is the challenging part. I always say my goal each day is “to be a better person today than I was yesterday.” Why is that so hard? Anyone else find change hard? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #makeachange#betteringmyself#betteringme#healthylivingtips#beagift#helpothers#choosekind

Today I’m super excited because I got to workout with a super hot guy that’s in the background of this video 😉. We are ok two different schedules for workouts right now so I was glad to have my workout partner back for tonight.
Day 5 of the test group is complete!!! Shaun Blokker is fucking murdering my legs but come July- I’ll have zero shame in my bikini game.
I almost didn’t make it through the final move of the workout u til Wayne told me “ you only have 10 seconds left...” so I found that last little strength and just fucking pushed through. It was super tough- but I feel so much stronger mentally for just not totally giving up.
If any of you are rocking out workouts and you’re mid “ I think I’m dying!” Move- it’s ok to take a second and come back. But don’t give up on yourself because you are ALWAYS stronger than you think. ❤️ #shauntfitness#shauntTestGroup#transform20#makeyourselfbetter#getitrightgetittight

If you want to get better at squats you have to squat! •
Changed my environment, changed the culture and the way I’ve been going about my workouts and I’m already feeling back to myself! •
Squat session of my workout today, 10,8,6,4,4,4,2,2,1,1,1
These are a few of my last reps of 4,2,1 hence why they are so sloppy and I’m exhausted! Can’t get any better without going hard! •
Really hurt to be around people this morning that where making excuses of why they weren’t going to workout today! It’s not always easy but you have to get your ass in the gym! It motivated me because I’m another day better than everyone else! Tired of being ostracized for being strong but no one else is putting any work in! You want to be strong than just do it! It’s not complicated! •

•Swipe & Remove Guilt•
⠀
You are not who you were.
⠀
You’re not the history of what happened in your life. ⠀
You’re where you are right now & that is where you start. ⠀
So many of us get trapped into believe that they have to compete with how they used to be.
⠀
They compare their current level of health or fitness to the way things used to be.
⠀
But, instead of this creating inspiration, it manifests guilt and shame.
⠀
You begin blaming yourself for how things have turned out.
⠀
That’s perfectionism playing its course. ⠀
Instead, remove the guilt and shame & build from right here. ⠀
Start by laying the single brick in the wall of progress & you’ll push yourself forward towards where you’re meant to be.
⠀
What is one thing you can do today to move yourself forward?

Today’s exercise is a single leg trx squat with a knee tuck. I like doing these to work on my hip stabilization. As you can see in the video, it wobbles a lot. ♦️
I want to have good alignment, so here you will see me starting off in a lung position. I want to make sure I have a good start. And at any point you feel as if your alignment is off go into a lung position to reset. ♦️
Make sure you are in an upright position.
Back straight.
Arms relaxed (I promise it won’t break).
And breath😉. ♦️
If you have any questions please feel free to message me on here.

Play Your Own Game
⠀
When I was in college, I didn’t fit in.
⠀
I was a small-town kid who didn’t come from money, I always felt this underlying sense of judgement about the way I presented myself.
⠀
Whether it was an internalized self-critique or a real thing, I carried this feeling everywhere.
⠀
However, this all began to change when I began weight lifting and training.
⠀
I was becoming more confident & beginning to feel like I had something that no one else could touch which helped me carry myself differently.
⠀
The coolest part was that it wasn’t about how much my body changed or how much weight I could lift; Training became a benchmark for hard work.
⠀
I would tell myself that regardless of the conversation, I could outwork anyone in this one area of deep internal connection.
⠀
Now, does that mean that you need to start working out like me to gain confidence?
⠀
Not. Even. Close.
⠀
BUT, what it does mean is that there is an area of your life where you do DOMINATE!
⠀
That area is a piece of you & gives you strength over anything else that may come in your space.
⠀
Confidence a belief or conviction that an outcome will be favorable.
⠀
In my eyes, if you want to have a more favorable outcome, stop comparing yourself to other people’s status & stop playing their games.
⠀
Rule your own sport of competency and see the power that it gives you.
⠀
Because once you learn to stop giving a fuck about what other people think, you become the most powerful you that could ever exist.
⠀
What is your area of confidence?

#REALPOST this is what happened after I pulled my hamstring 3 months ago and formed bad habits. My nutrition fell off the grid. I stopped working out. I was in a rut I knew I'd be in for awhile and I'm still in it. I'm slowly crawling back out of the rut, still only able to do upper body. I have been doing stretches and PT leg exercises but nothing crazy. I wanted to be real with you because I haven't been real with myself since my injury. I've been in denial about my bad habits forming and how I've let myself go. This is a wakeup post for myself as I can see that I no longer have as much muscle mass as I did and I've gained 10 pounds of fat in 6 months. This makes me really sad but also makes me want to work even harder to get back to where I was. I just have to do it a lot slower this time, to heal my hamstring properly. Thanks for reading this if you did. Everyone falls off sometimes and has setbacks whether that's major or minor. But everyone can push through and make themselves better for tomorrow. I've had weight fluctuations for 6 years. But I always get back up and get back to where I want to be. I just needed to learn to have patience, and my hamstring taught me a lot about patience, but never to give up. It may take a year or two, but I'll be back to the picture on the left or better.
